Also, since you've moved up the release date, does that mean my independent bookstore will get it earlier, too? Do I have to tell them the date's been moved up, or will it just come in?

eta: Hee. Now Seabiscuit is offended that I mocked him on the internets and he's stalked out of the room. He's flounced and flopped just outside of the door, looking at me balefully.

does the book mention this website by name?

It's peppered throughout the book, yes.

When I pimp the book, I always say, "It's about community and relationship and the entertainment industry." Which is working well for generating interest, but now that I think about it, once they actually read it, I'll be Buffy-fan outed again.

Maybe there needs to be an edition with code words to hide the Buffy connection. Instead of Buffy the Vampire Slayer it could be Bucky the Van Tire Sailor or something.

I seem to have caught the psycho from shrift.

Sorry. I woke up stupid this morning, and I hope that isn't contagious, too.

Thanks, Jesse!

Too late.

smart biscuit! no one wants to be teased on the internets if they aren't participating in the internets.

Heh. He's apparently forgiven me now; dog attention spans, you know. But for all I know he's out there every night all, "Can you believe they tried to feed me kibble? Oh, and I totally almost caught that skunk, if not for that interfering Girl."

Too late.

I think I need to be quarantined.

Too late.

Very much so. I managed to get myself out the front door with things I need if I do spend tonight at Juliana's, and things I need if I don't, remembered to charge my cell phone, and even packed myself a lunch.

Then I drove past the gas station I meant to go to, and then parked on the wrong side of the car at the station I did go to (and yes, I have had this car for three years now).
